1) Hemp water filters

In 2013, a Florida based non-profit – Foundation For Industrial Hemp Production & Research – creates an affordable and safe hemp water filter for your sink.

Using hemp fibers as the primary material, its able to kill 95% of microbes and bacteria (such as E.Coli and Salmonella). This system uses passive purification methods and doesn’t use dangerous chemicals (such as chlorine) or the more costly UV sanitation setups.

Hemp water filters benefits include:

Reduce lead, rust and other sediments.

pH and alkalinity stabilizer.

Mold and mildew preventer.

Absorbs natural gas, ammonia and formaldehyde.

And much more.

HMF water filters easily screw onto your existing sink and have the optional monthly subscription service for you to receive filter replacements.

2) Automated indoor grow box

Even in legal states, growing cannabis requires a certain degree of discretion. With today’s evolving markets, growing cannabis with minimal effort is a reality.

Automated grow boxes, such as Grobo will perform most of the tedious daily chores required to grow a thriving cannabis plant. Setting up your grow box requires you is to install the carbon filter, add the seeds, fill the nutrients and finalize the pods. After completing the basic setup, all you need to do is inform your grow app what’s being grown and automation is on its ways.

A simple Wi-Fi connection to your grow box provides you all the information you need to keep track of progress and when refills are required.
